A bright accent for a white linen shirt or tied onto a canvas tote, this bandana is a beautiful example of circular design. The golden-yellow hue, extracted from simple onion skins, has a depth that synthetic dyes rarely achieve.
What people think
All 8 reviewsShibori work is clean and the white suns stand out against the yellow background. Stitched corner label is a nice touch.
Decent size for a neck tie. Wish it were a few cm larger for a full head wrap, but the quality of the plant-based dye is obvious.
Bahut accha fabric quality. Those rolled edges are finished well and do not fray.
This 55cm square fits perfectly in a pocket. Love that they used actual onion peels for the color. It feels very grounded and natural.
color is slightly more muted than the photos but the shibori rays are lovely. Material feels durable despite being thin.
Product details
Description
Key Features:
- Material: Light cotton fabric dyed with plant-based pigments
- Dye Source: Repurposed onion peels collected from kitchen compost
- Technique: Shibori resist-dyeing creates white sunburst patterns
- Edge Finish: Neatly rolled edges for a clean border
- Pigment: Free from synthetic pigments and chemical vats
The pattern is achieved by gathering cloth into tight rings before dyeing, leaving a field of soft white suns where the binding thread resisted the golden-yellow onion dye.
As a process that avoids machines, the binding and dyeing results in gentle variations in tone from circle to circle, making every piece unique.
